Since my inframe, the engine has been running well. The clutch finally started acting up back in February. It had a broken spring that was bumbling around causing intermittent problems so I replaced it. Not bad for 1.03 million miles on the original clutch. Here are some of the highlights...

My tripp-lite 4,000watt 120v inverter is finally going on the fritz. It has served us faithfully, but I will not be buying another one of this same brand. I have found over the past years of running it in the truck that even though it provides clean power, it is not 100% pure sinewave. There are just some things that hate the power from it. I have had a couple of electric blankets not function properly, and a crock-pot that the control board caught fire as soon as it was used into the truck. I have also has some slight issues with laptop power supplies not lasting as long as they should.

This time around, I will be using this one...

It is supposed to be pure sine. We shall see.

Of all the inverters i have used in the past, the tripp-lite has been pretty good. It is not 100% sine though. The most reliable and purest power I have seen though was from our old xantrex 1,000watt pure sine inverter. That thing is still going strong but it is just too small for the truck. That is why we went with the 4k tripp-lite last time.

Time will tell if this newer Chinese knock-off will hold up, that companies products have some good reviews, so I decided to try it for the price.
